FP #165: Getting That Loving Feeling Back In Your Business – Lenore Miller with James Rick

Remember the hit song of the Righteous Brothers, you’ve lost that lovin’ feeling …  business can be a lot like a love affair and if this is the theme you’re in right now, read on.

Lenore is a business coach and consultant. She coaches people who have “lost their mojo” on how to reignite the spark they initially had for their business before reality set in and hit them cold. In this interview she talks about how to find your business mojo and get things going again in your business. She also discusses how running a business is very much like being in love – you fall in and out of it. She tells how, with effort, the spark can be reignited so that you can turn your business around.

WHAT IS BUSINESS MOJO?             

Business mojo is about the energy and spark, the extra zing you have for running a business.

THE PHASES OF BUSINESS MOJO (MUCH LIKE IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP)

• THE FALLING-IN-LOVE PHASE – It starts with a consuming emotion that keeps you awake and you can’t think of anything else

-          A business idea hits you and you can’t stop thinking about it

• THE HONEYMOON PHASE – You ignore the little warning signs and the annoying things because you are so in love

-          You’re excited about having customers that you’re happy opening doors for them and doing other day-to-day mundane things

• THE REALITY PHASE – The initial overwhelming emotion starts to fade

-          You start losing your enthusiasm for your business as you realize it is not how you initially thought it would be

HOW TO REIGNITE THAT SPARK IN YOUR BUSINESS AND GET YOU EXCITED AGAIN

• DETERMINE WHERE YOUR BUSINESS IS AT

-          Pinpoint the things that can be changed quickly to turn things around

• HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR BUSINESS

-          This is looking at your business with fresh eyes

• IMPLEMENT STEPS THAT WILL MAKE YOU REGAIN YOUR ENTHUSIASM

-          Pay yourself! Don’t work for free in your business

-          Work on your business, not in it.

FOLLOW-THROUGH STEPS

• OBSERVE A REGULAR CLEAR-THINKING TIME

-          Ask yourself the right kinds of empowering questions

• BECOME AWARE OF YOUR MINDSET

-          Determine the focus of your business

THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER                    

• Everybody has a spark potential that can be ignited and reignited, be it on the individual or organizational level, in the personal or entrepreneurial area

• How much or how badly you want to ignite that mojo is up to you
